The KANNAD 406 AF / AF-H / AF (6D) are composed of:

1.

a transmitter;

2.

a mounting bracket;

3.

a remote control panel (mandatory if ELT controls are not available from 
the pilot’s position, refer to RTCA/DO-183, RTCA/DO-204, EUROCAE 
ED-62);

4.

an outside antenna;

5.

a "Programming Dongle" for pin-programming function (option);

6.

CS144 Interface Module (option).

The transmitter, bracket, Programming Dongle and CS144 Interface Module 
are installed in the aircraft near the tail. The outside antenna is mounted on the 
fuselage near the tail. The remote control panel is installed in the cockpit and 
connected to the ELT with a 4 or 5 wire bundle.

Figure 2: ELT system description

The KANNAD 406 AF and AF(6D) are designed to be installed on fixed wing
